Reelz Channel talked to Henry about preparing for the role of Superman. The full article is at the link. Here are a few excerpts:

It’s going to be a different kind of shape. When you see the Immortals shape you’ll see what I mean. We obviously haven’t had the final brief yet, it’s going to adapt and change as far as when Mark [Twight, trainer] sees my body adapting to the training he’ll go, “Okay, Henry can do this,” or “Henry can’t do this,” or “His body will look better like that.” It’ll be fine-tuned and tweaked as we go along. But I think it’s going to be a different sort of shape from Immortals.

I mean, I’m sitting here talking…about being Superman, for example. And then it dawns on me and I go, “Oh my God, I’m Superman!” It’s really exciting and an incredible opportunity, so as soon as I’m jumping into the costume and stuff it starts to become real. … As soon as you don the cape and the S shield, it’s one of those things where you go, “Wow—this is real.”

Henry Cavill didn’t know quite what he was about to encounter. The mild-mannered Brit, who’d been cast as Superman in the Warner Bros. reboot of the franchise in January, found himself at WonderCon on an April day in San Francisco, about to meet the fans that may make or break the success of the upcoming film. Was he ready to stand in front of the frothing masses and stake his claim to pop culture history?

“Let’s hope so,” he told MTV News with a nervous laugh. “I better do a good job.”

For Cavill, with the passage of time came a new understanding of what it means to portray the most iconic superhero on the planet. “As much as I wanted it at a younger age, you get to a certain point where you go, ‘OK, I’m ready for most things now.’ Back then, you believe you’re ready for it,” he said. “But as soon as it happens, you think that it’s a little heavy. I’m glad it’s happening now as opposed to any other time.”
